NEW CONTEXT 2009-04-20

Since October 2007, the economy has known many fluctuations, the most important one being the exchange rate between Canadian and American currency. Being even money at the beginning of the League, it is now close to 30% and kudos to the one who can predict what it will be in six months.

It has become quite difficult for the League’s management to promise a certain number of trips to the American side, these should be reviewed downwards, in relation with the exchange rate. The number of trips awarded would then drop from 40 to 25, that is 20 for the players and 5 for the directors and owners.

Many other criteria must also be taken into consideration, the 30% tax withheld by the American government on all gambling gains by Canadians, the legal age of 21 required to play in a casino in the United States, and the impossibility to have media coverage when the event is held on the other side of the border. Furthermore, given the economic context, we know that the majority of our members would prefer a formula where the prizes actually come back to the League’s players.

Good news! Taking into account all these parameters, it was decided that for each of the two stage tournaments, which will be held this coming May, 40 players and 10 directors/owners will be qualified. The top 4 players and the winner of the owners/directors tournament will win a trip to the WSOP in Las Vegas while the other qualified players from both stage tournaments will be registered to a Stage Super Final where $100,000 in prizes will be up for grabs. For this event, which will be held this coming November, the accommodation costs will be covered for two nights and a personal allowance will be given to each participant.

Note: The Super Stage Final will be held twice a year.

- in November (qualified via Stage I and II)

- in Mai (qualified via Stage III and IV)

We hope that this formula will please everyone. Rest assured that the interest of our members is always at the forefront of each decision, present and future.

WSOP Circuit live from Atlantic City 2009-03-29

Good morning poker amateurs!

Welcome to Atlantic City!

When we think about Atlantic City, many thoughts cross our minds, thoughts of the beach, holidays, long walks on the famous boardwalk... Even if at this time of the year, the beach is really not an option, there is still a lot of exciting activities to discover... Today, Atlantic City has become the east coast Las Vegas with its prestigious hotels, boutiques and especially its unavoidable casinos.

After having travelled all night, our chartered bus arrived at Atlantic City’s Caesar’s Palace yesterday around 2pm, an hour ahead of the scheduled arrival. All took advantage of this extra hour to eat, get some rest and get acquainted with the place. Our winners should be ready to bite into today’s tournament and fight against some best players in the world.

Paul-Émile Huot 2009-03-16

Paul-Émile Huot passed away, Thursday March 12th following a battle with cancer. Paul-Émile had three passions in his life: his family, his dogs and poker. Paul-Émile usually played at the Billard Le Sieur in Lachenaie, mainly to meet up with friends and have a good time. He was a harden player, but he played for the fun of it, with an unbecoming calmness and kindness towards everyone. Since his hospitalization last fall, he always enquired about his friends in the League. Everyone who rubbed elbows with him playing poker lost a good friend and a pleasant player. The League and the Gestion Poker Tour team would like to extend their most sincere condolences to his friends and family.
